New York Comic Con 2022: Saturday

Saturday is usually the biggest day at New York Comic Con (NYCC), and I was ready for to be just that. It ended up being even bigger on Sunday, but I didn't know that at the time. All I knew was I was gonna have a blast and debut my new Logan cosplay. It's based on his look from X-Men Origins: Wolverine. Said movie, well it isn't good, to say the least. But, I love the look and thought it would be fun to do a different cosplay of a character, that I had already done before (another first for me!). Spoiler alert: It was!

The only other thing I actually knew was that the very first thing that I was doing was meet Alex Vincent, who played Andy Barclay in the Child's Play/ Chucky franchise. As a huge fan of said franchise, I was excited to finally meet him. He was really nice and very humble. This was the case even as I gushed about being a fan of the movies ever since I was a kid (on a side note, I'm totally wearing Chucky PJs, coincidently might I add, while I write this), like the geek that I am. Anyway, the resulting pic is one of my favorites ever!

After that I went to the Topps booth to see what Garbage Pail Kids product they had. And, imagine my joy when I saw their mascot Adam Bomb! I thought this was one of the coolest things I saw all week!!

I would come back later that day, to this booth, to get this year's edition of the Garbage Pail Kids: Oh! The Horror! card set with two exclusive cards.

And, now for some of my favorite cosplays from this Saturday:

Cosplayer Heather Marie's Doctor Octopus was so awesome! That made me so so very flattered when she called me Logan after seeing my cosplay. I simply had to get a pic with her. Which led to someone asking if Logan could catch COVID (being I had face mask on). We joked about it, but yeah, that's a good question. Can he catch the corona virus? Let me know what you think is the answer in the comments section below.

This simple but cool take on the Captain America shield, by making into a Metallica- Master of Puppets shield is really one of my favorite cosplays/ things I saw at the con. I mean this fucking rules! As does Metallica!

This pic from above is from my friend Nelson D. Martinez's Instagram story.

People seemed to really like my cosplay, which added to the fun for me. Saturday really was a blast and was huge, but little did I know that the next and last day would be the biggest!

To be concluded...

The Return of New York Comic Con 2021, Part 2: Saturday!

As I mentioned in the first part of my New York Comic Con (NYCC) report, while I was there on Thursday, I couldn't make in on Friday, but I was back on Saturday. This was also the only day, that I choose to cosplay. I'll definitely do more at the next comic or sci-fi con, but for now, this was fine. And, once again I was Captain America from Avengers: Infinity War.

Due to the pandemic related limited attendance, this was definitely the least packed Saturday, that I have ever seen at NYCC. But, regardless, it was an absolute blast to attend, and I had an even more awesome time than I had on Thursday!

This was the day that I decided to some celeb meeting. First and foremost I met legendary wrestling announcer Tony Schiavone. The former voice of WCW and currently AEW Dynamite, he was and is a huge part of my wrestling memories. I honestly believe that he is doing some of his finest work in AEW. In person, he was so nice and down to earth. It felt like he genuinely loves meeting his fans, even a dorky loser like me, who was like, "I'm such a huge and long time fan!" Jesus Christ, could I have sounded lamer if I tried?

I also met one of the artists that works on Garbage Pail Kids (GPK) trading cards. He was at the Topps booth and was signing an exclusive set of Oh the Horrible, their horror movie parody GPK cards.

And, now here are some more cosplay highlights, including some of my own:

Honestly, this might be my favorite cosplay that I saw at NYCC this year! As a life long Jaws fan, I found it to be both awesome and hilarious! If someone reading this knows and her and could let her know how incredible this is, please do so!

And, on this day I bought, besides those GPK horror cards I mentioned earlier, a Toy Tokyo exclusive Masters of the Universe Zodac Funko Pop.

To be concluded!

The Return of New York Comic Con 2021- Thursday!

Funko- Toy Fair 2018, Part 2

Funko have started, with their Mortal Kombat line, to do figures in the classic Masters of the Universe scale and style. They are widely expanding it with bunch of new series:

First up: Horror, which will have Freddy Krueger, Jason Voorhees, Michael Myers, Pinhead, and Leatherface.

Conan the Barbarian, based on the classic 1982 fantasy movie:

And, Thundercats, which is probably the crossover I wanted to be able to do with my toys more than anything else, as a kid. Yes, I know we got a comic-book series a few years ago, but now you will be able to reenact it! Or, do it your way!

Come to think it, the idea of He-Man battling horror villains and teaming up with Conan and friends to battle Thulsa Doom who would be teaming up with King Hsss, is fucking awesome!

On to more Pops!!

"Garbage Pail Kids" Pops! What a time to be alive!

Have you been thinking to yourself, "You know what? There is simply not enough Deadpool merchandise out these?" If so, the following is for you!

And, now for the last batch I am showing, let's go with all the AWESOME Rick and Morty stuff that we are getting (or have gotten, in some cases)! FUCK YEAH!!!
